A
Funding
season
Community,
Development,
Block
Grant
is
meeting
tonight
with
mental
health
board
on
some
coordinated
funding
for
various
organizations
that
have
completed
applications
for
funding
from
both
sources.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
introduce
ourselves
because
we
don't
normally
meet
together,
except
for
once
a
year,
and
so
we're
going
to
get
to
know
each
other
and
I
think
we'll
begin
at
that
end
of
the
table.
Just.
C
A
E
I
P
Good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
present
to
you
this
evening.
I'm
Colette,
Alan,
I'm,
Center
Director
for
family
focus.
Evanston.
Our
address
is
2010
Dewey
Avenue.
Here
in
Evanston,
our
phone
number
is
eight
four,
seven,
four,
seven,
five,
seven

zero.
Our
web
address
is
WWF
Amelie
focus,
org,
slash,
Evanston
I
also
have
with
me
this
evening.
P
Rose
Johnson,
who
is
chair
of
our
auxilary
board
and
also
way
in
the
back
I,
saw
her
is
joanne
avery,
who
is
the
program
manager
for
after-school
program
and
many
other
hats
that
she
wears
for
the
agency
and
she's
been
with
us
for
35
years,
so
I'm
glad
to
have
their
support
this
evening.
Most
of
you
are
familiar
with
family
focus.
We've
been
around
for
more
than
40
years,
providing
family
services
to
families
with
children,
zero
to
young
adulthood.
P
We
have
a
partnership
with
DCFS
that
serves
families
in
crisis
and
we
provide
parent
education
advocacy
for
those
families
and
we
supervise
their
visitations
with
their
children
all
in
the
hopes
of
bringing
those
families
back
together.
We
also
have
a
grandparent
support
group,
because
many
of
our
grandparents
are
raised
raising
their
grandchildren.
We
have
a
father's
initiative
and
our
hope
is
to
bring
the
father's
back
into
the
home.
But
this
evening
we
are
asking
for
your
continued
support
of
our
after-school
program
and
our
summer
camp.
P
We
serve
families,
low
and
moderate
income
families,
mostly
from
the
fifth
Ward,
whose
kids
are
bused
to
schools
in
North
Evanston
also.
They
are
very
much
a
part
of
that
statistic
that
we
all
dislike,
which
is
the
achievement
gap,
and
we
work
very
hard
to
narrow
that
achievement
gap
by
providing
them
with
homework,
support
and
enrichment
activities
and
social
and
emotional
learning.
P
More
than
we're
very
pleased
with
some
of
the
statistics
we
have
had
over
the
past
year,
more
than
90%
of
our
students
at
the
end
of
the
academic
year,
we're
either
on
grade
level
in
reading
or
above
grade
level.
In
reading
90,
almost
100
son
of
our
students
participated
in
science,
technology
engineering
and
math
activities
once
a
week,
and
another
great
statistics
for
us
is
that
only
one
or
two
kids
got
in
trouble
in
school,
so
we're
very
proud
of
our
kids.
P
Thanks
to
the
support
of
the
Mental
Health
Board
and
the
cdbg
bee
we've
been
able
to
leverage
some
very
important
partnerships.
First
and
foremost,
is
our
partnership
with
cradle
to
career,
and
they
were
able
to
provide
to
AmeriCorps
vistas
for
us
this
year
that
supplemented
our
very
small
staff.
We
only
have
one
full-time
person,
one
part-time
person
supporting
60
kids,
so
that
was
very
key
to
our
success.
Over
the
past
year.
P
We
also
are
a
partner
in
Evin
stem
and
we
have
a
very
strong
committee
volunteers.
These
are
african-american
men
who
are
engineers
and
technologists
and
mathematicians
and
engineers
who
have
decided
to
devote
their
time
to
family
folk
focus,
and
this
is
their
third
year
of
doing
that
and,
as
a
result,
we
were
able
to
have
our
second
annual
stem
fest.
We
increased
in
attendance
by
10%
this
year.
I
really
think
it's
more
than
that,
because
the
first
year
we
did
stem
fest.
P
P
We
had
an
engineering
workshop
over
the
summer
for
with
third
and
fourth
graders.
We
had
our
first
Robotics
Club
this
past
year
and
we
also
have
one
of
our
STEM
committee
members:
do
financial
literacy
every
week
with
our
middle
school
students
over
the
summer,
so
we
really
try
to
pack
a
lot
of
stuff
in
there,
but
it's
all
proving
to
help
our
kids.
Another
partnership
fostered
by
cradle
to
career,
is
Evanston
food
exchange.
This
is
the
second
year
that
we've
had
the
partnership.
They
have
provided
funding
and
volunteers
for
a
lovely
garden.
P
The
garden
has
been
so
prolific
this
year
that
we
were
able
to
provide
fresh
produce
to
our
members
in
the
community
that
come
to
us
for
free
food.
So,
in
addition
to
the
canned
goods,
they
were
now
getting
fresh
produce
over
the
summer.
In
addition,
the
kids
also
learned
some
entrepreneurship
skills
because
they
took
some
of
the
produce
went
to
farmers.
Markets
sold
the
produce,
along
with
some
of
the
crafts
that
they
made
another
new.
P
This
past
year,
we
were
able
to
get
a
grant
from
the
city
for
arts
and
culture,
and
we
had
a
drama
teacher
that
was
there
every
day
during
the
summer,
doing
creative
drama
with
the
kids.
In
addition
to
the
two
teachers
that
were
provided
by
district
65,
we
also
had
a
relationship
with
art
of
evolution,
theater
group,
which
leveraged
their
relationship
with
Piven
and
mudlark
theaters,
to
provide
camper
ships
for
the
kids
and
creative
drama.
We
continue
to
try
to
find
to
the
program.
P
Our
stem
committee
has
committed
to
improving
the
math
skills
of
our
students
this
school
year.
So
we're
really
going
to
focus
on
math.
The
science
clubs
will
continue
new
to
our
partners.
This
year
is
beacon,
Academy
the
students
there
have
to
do
community
servus,
and
I
asked
that
their
art
students
provide
art
lessons
to
our
kids
once
a
week,
and
they
will
be
doing
that
and
I'm
in
serious
conversation
with
an
organization
that
does
digital
literacy
with
young
people.
P
So
we're
working
hard
on
things
like
coding
and
programming
with
the
kids,
so
you're,
looking
forward
to
a
very
successful
and
impactful
school
year
in
the
summer,
I
want
to
share
a
little
story
about
two
people:
two
young
people
that
I
met
two
years
ago
when
I
started,
they
had
just
started
a
family
focus.
They
were
sixth
graders,
one
african-american
female
and
one
Hispanic
male
and
like
most
sixth
graders,
when
I
asked
them
what
they
wanted
to
do.
I
got
the
shrug
and
I'm
happy
to
say
they
are
now
eighth
graders.
P
Both
of
them
want
to
be
doctors.
Part
of
our
partnership
with
Northwestern
University
would
included
two
field
trips
to
Northwestern's
campus,
where
they
actually
went
into
labs
with
researchers
and
saw
the
research
and
able
to
do
some
of
the
research
with
the
researchers.
So
now
northwestern
is
high
on
their
list
for
universities.
They
are
also
officers
in
the
National
Society
of
black
engineers
Junior
chapter,
and
they
will
be
representing
family
focus
in
Evanston
at
a
regional
conference
in
Milwaukee
in
November.
P
F
P
P
P
Yes,
because
some
of
those
you
know
we
were
really
shocked
when
the
numbers
came
in
and
we
were
going
to
have
30
middle
school
students,
but
a
lot
of
those
students
didn't
show,
so
we
will
be
able
to
take
some
more
kids
most
definitely
and
we'll
continue
to
have
those
AmeriCorps
this
year.
So
that'll
help.
P
Q
Q
Per
year.
Most
critically,
we
provided
over
700
200
young
people
with
direct
legal
and
social
work.
Services
served
103
through
the
city
of
Evanston's
diversion
program,
8
young
people
through
project
bridge,
where
at-risk
youth
met
with
the
city
of
Evanston
police
officers
to
participate
in
activities
to
break
down
stereotypes
and
build
constructive
relationships,
52
youth,
through
our
alternative
to
suspension
program
both
at
oked
in
elementary
school
and
Evanston,
Township,
High
School
and
lastly,
the
Moran
centers,
a
special
education
legal
advocacy
project,
which
is
our
fastest
growing
legal
project.
Q
But
we
are
heartened
to
know
that
80
percent
of
our
youth,
that
we
serve
have
improved
their
school
attendance
grades
and
our
disciplinary
records
in
school.
Eighty
percent
are
able
to
meet
their
individual
Social
Work
goals
and
seventy
percent
of
our
clients
successfully
comply
with
both
courts,
supervision
and
probation
orders.
Our
kids
and
families
live
in
poverty
and,
sadly,
are
living
with
the
trauma
that
comes
from
experiencing
or
witnessing
homelessness,
abuse,
neglect,
violence,
substance,
abuse,
and/or
mental
illness.
Q
Our
kids
are
most
at
risk
of
becoming
disconnected
from
our
community
and
most
at
risk
of
being
lost
to
institutionalization
gun
violence
or
to
the
school
to
Prison,
Pipeline,
our
kids
and
all
kids
because
of
the
resiliency
have
the
unique
propensity
to
change
our
social
workers,
provide
trauma-informed
care
that
kids
need
in
order
to
heal.
These
are
high
touch
one-on-one
multi-year
relationships.
We
invest
whatever
is
necessary,
as
our
social
workers
can
attest
some
of
the
most
meaningful
therapy
that
occurs
is
driving
a
kid
to
and
from
the
DMV
to
get
a
state
ID.
Q
Our
lawyers
advocate
for
children
of
judicial
and
educational
systems,
but
our
social
workers
advocate
for
children
in
every
possible
setting.
They
have
the
single
most
important
component
of
our
model
and,
as
a
lawyer,
I
have
seen
the
power
of
what
our
therapists
do.
A
lasting
impact
of
their
work
and
how
trajectories
have
changed
and
literally
saved
lives
as
a
direct
result
of
the
care
that
they
give
to
our
clients.
Q
We
are
today
asking
for
additional
funding
from
CDBG
MHB.
The
additional
funding
will
help
us
serve
more
kids
and
families,
employing
our
integrated
legal
and
Social
Work
model.
We
feel
this
investment
is
paramount
in
order
to
create
a
community
with
kids
and
families
who
feel
hopeful
about
their
future.
Q
We
will
also
collaborate
with
Erie
family
health
center,
the
Joslin
Center,
Evanston,
cradle-to-career
and
other
community
organizations
in
improving
access
to
urgent
mental
health
care
for
not
only
Moran
Center
clients,
but
all
youth
in
Evanston.
We
hope
to
take
the
model
we
develop
with
Erie
and
hopefully
the
Joslin
Center,
and
bring
it
out
to
other
agencies
in
the
community.
So
now
I
just
want
to
introduce
Kristin
Kenner.
Just
to
give
a
brief
comments
as
our
director
of
social
work
services.
R
We've
improved
our
ability
to
capture
important
client
outcomes
thanks
to
the
Pratt's
rich
pratt
Richards
group,
the
Moran
Center
recently
completed
a
theory
of
change
evaluation
process,
developing
new
indicators
to
measure
the
impact
of
our
programming,
which
we
will
use
moving
forward.
We
are
also
in
the
process
of
migrating
from
access
2014
to
legal
server,
which
is
a
client
management
software
that
will
also
help
us
track
our
newly
developed
outcomes
and
indicators
in
order
to
more
effectively
serve
the
families
of
Evanston.
R
The
Moran
Center
participated
in
two
really
important:
multi-session
training
opportunities
supported
by
a
grant
from
the
oven's
and
community
foundation.
This
year,
one
of
them
focused
on
diversity,
training
to
reinforce
our
focus
on
equity
and
interacting
with
our
clients,
in
a
culturally
sensitive
way,
increasing
awareness
of
issues
of
privilege,
power
and
institutional
racism,
increasing
awareness
and
attuning
to
differences
in
race,
socioeconomic
status,
culture
and
education.
R
The
training
also
forced
our
staff
to
address
the
vicarious
trauma
that
we
experience
on
a
daily
basis
and
learn
the
importance
of
prioritizing
self-care.
The
Moran
Center
continues
to
strengthen
outcomes
for
youth
and
their
families
by
communicating
and
collaborating
with
our
community
partners.
In
this
way,
the
Moran
Center
works
to
create
a
tightly
knit
fabric
of
supports
for
our
clients
highlights
from
this
past
year.
R
In
regard
to
community
engagement
include
partnering
with
the
child
care
network
of
Evanston
y-o-u
and
the
Illinois
Coalition
for
immigrant
and
refugee
rights
to
conduct
a
legal
workshop
for
over
60
local
social
services
providers
who
support
immigrant
and
refugee
families
and
also
establishing
a
formalized
referral
process
to
the
legal
assistant
foundation
for
clients
who
are
in
need
of
civil
legal
needs.
Without
the
assistance
of
CDBG
and
the
Mental
Health
Board,
the
Moran
Center
would
not
be
able
to
provide
the
extremely
important
and
necessary
services.
A
I
F
Q
Ma'am,
yes,
and
we
will
be
hiring
just
to
answer.
How
can
four
attorneys
now
miraculously
serve
130
additional
families?
We
are
hiring
a
staff,
a
train
that
will
specialize
in
civil
legal
practice
and
will
also
be
managing
our
pro
bono
attorneys
that
we're
recruiting
and
we
have
a
nice
cadre
so
far,
pro
bono
attorneys
to
help
us
with
the
clinic.
Q
G
Thank
you,
I'm,
just
looking
at
your
overall
budget
and
the
difference
between
2017
and
2018
is
pretty
significant.
Do
you
want
to
just
give
me
a
quick
little
overview
in
terms
of
your
targets
for
the
individual
contributions?
Also
looking
you're,
doubling
your
corporate
sponsorship
Suvir,
showing
less
than
your
special
events
for
a
nice
sleep
just
give
me
giving
us
some
feedback
I'm.
Q
Sure
so
our
fundraising
has
been
very
successful
in
the
past
couple
years.
So
right
now
is
the
budget
that
we've
presented
to
CDBG
MHP.
We
do
have
a
healthy
cash
reserve
that
we
will
be
utilizing
in
order
to
primarily
start
the
school-based
civil
legal
clinic.
We
also
thanks
to
the
Evanston
Community
Foundation's
partner,
for
the
future,
grant
that
we
received
this
past
year,
which
was
$100,000
matching
grant.
We
have
established
better
relationships
with
made
major
donors.
Q
That
was
a
main
focus
for
the
past
year
for
us
to
receive
training
from
the
foundation,
but
also
go
out
and
ask
individuals
for
an
investment
and
a
commitment
to
the
Moran
Center
and
been
very
successful
at
that,
and
we
have
a
grant
coming
up
this
year,
which
is
another
matching
grant.
That
again
will
provide
training
and
focus
to
do
multi-year
major
donor
asks,
so
that's
where
the
additional
increases
and
I
hope
I'm
good
at
it,
because
we
need
to.
We
need
the
revenue.
A
Q
S
S
This
is
our
first
opportunity
to
make
a
presentation
before
you
and
I'm
really
glad
to
be
here,
we're
here
to
request
funding,
support
for
open
access,
our
innovative
program
that
allows
clients
to
walk
in
during
open
access
hours
and
begin
mental
health
treatment.
On
the
very
same
day,
this
program
is
unique
for
four
different
reasons:
it
provides
instant
access
to
care.
It
eliminates
wait
time
and
waiting
lists.
S
S
Accessing
mental
health
services
has
involved
lengthy
waits.
A
typical
result
of
individuals
having
wait
for
mental
health
care
is
an
increase
in
symptoms,
psychiatric
crises,
emergency
room
usage
and
the
possibility
that
the
person
in
need
of
care
will
give
up
on
pursuing
the
services
they
require
not
receiving
necessary
health
care
can
have
a
ripple
effect
on
the
clients,
family,
their
livelihood
and
the
larger
community.
S
Each
person
received
a
mental
health
assessment
which
was
delivered
in
nearly
every
case
from
the
therapists
with
whom
they
would
continue
to
work.
They
met
with
a
client
services
coordinator,
who
reviewed
their
benefits
to
determine
any
fees
they
might
need
to
pay
in
during
the
meeting
with
their
therapist.
S
The
client
was
introduced
to
a
wide
array
of
comprehensive
services
that
we
provide
at
Turning
Point,
including
individual
and
family
therapy
day
treatment,
case
management,
our
living
room
crisis,
alternative
program,
our
residential
program
and
our
psychiatry
services,
in
other
words,
on
the
day
that
they
took
the
brave
step
of
asking
for
help.
Help
was
provided.
S
Our
goals
for
this
coming
year
are
to
increase
our
outreach
and
to
build
on
our
successful
first
year
so
as
to
serve
more
people
in
need.
The
information
that
we
collect
and
track
includes
demographics,
as
well
as
the
number
of
inquiries
number
of
completed
intakes
the
number
of
high-priority
intakes
in
the
status
of
any
waitlist
created
because
of
client
preferences
or
clinician
availability.
S
We
very
rarely
have
a
waitlist
of
any
length,
but
it
may
happen
that
a
person
who
needs
an
appointment
on
a
certain
evening
at
a
certain
time
may
have
to
wait
until
a
clinician
is
available
for
that
specific
time.
Slot
turning
points
mission
is
to
provide
solid
support
when
you
need
it
most.
There
are
no
limitations
regarding
the
place
of
residence
or
ability
to
pay.
In
fact,
90%
of
the
people
we
serve
qualify
as
low-income
or
poor.
S
We
provide
mental
health
care
for
people
who
are
dealing
with
severe
mental
illness
that
impairs
their
ability
to
live
and
work,
as
well
as
providing
care
for
others
who
are
dealing
with
more
episodic
or
situational
stressors.
For
nearly
50
years,
we
have
been
honored
to
work
with
local
colleagues,
including
many
partners
from
Evanston
to
create
a
community
of
healing
and
expert
affordable
responses
to
the
mental
health
needs
of
our
clients.
We
appreciate
your
consideration
of
our
request
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have.
F
B
D
S
T
I
am
Debbie
anthe,
executive
director
for
meals
at
home.
We
are
located
at
11:23,
Emerson,
suite
213
here
in
Evanston.
If
people
would
like
more
information,
they
can
check
out
our
website
at
meals
at
home
org.
If
they're
interested
in
volunteering,
we
would
love
to
hear
from
them
all
that
information
is
on
the
website,
as
well
as
the
ability
to
give
a
donation
which
would
be
very,
very
appreciated,
or
if
they
have
someone
who
needs
access
to
food.
We
have
course
are
always
happy
to
help
them
as
well.
T
So
one
of
our
clients
did
not
answer
his
door
during
deliveries
today,
because
his
power
wheelchair
was
not
working,
he
couldn't
reach
his
phone.
He
was
just
kind
of
stuck
there.
The
meals
at
home
volunteer
could
enter
his
house
Carla's
emergency
contact
person,
but
they
didn't
answer
voice
messages
were
full,
they
called
the
meals
at
home
office
and
we
were
able
to
reach
a
different
emergency
contact
person
who
could
actually
give
him
some
help
earlier
this
week
there
was
another
client
that
was
not
answering
during
delivery
times.
T
T
So
number
one
concern.
We
are
Meals
on
Wheels
program.
We
are
delivering
meals
to
people
who
need
it
and
medically
prescribed
meals,
which
can
be
a
challenge
for
a
lot
of
folks
for
a
lot
of
reasons,
but
we're
doing
a
whole
lot
more
than
just
a
meal,
and
we've
been
doing
that
here
in
Evanston
for
50
years,
we're
just
preparing
to
celebrate
that
year.
Hopefully,
you'll
hear
all
kinds
of
stuff
about
us:
we
have
relationships
with
our
clients,
with
their
families
and
with
the
communities
that
we
serve.
They
haven't
stand.
T
Police,
for
example,
are
very,
very
helpful,
but
what
would
happen
if
the
man
in
the
power
chair
didn't
receive
meals?
Our
pool
of
three
hundred
and
fifty
volunteers
are
the
eyes
and
ears
that
really
do
make
a
difference
every
day
in
these
people's
lives.
In
so
many
ways
they
bring
the
food
first
and
foremost,
and
it's
a
very
impactful
service
that
does
allow
people
to
stay
in
their
homes
which,
as
you've
probably
heard
before
and
I,
won't
reiterate
all
of
my
application.
T
But
that
is
a
tremendous
savings
to
the
community
in
itself,
but
they
also
provide
these
subtle
safety
checks
and,
in
many
cases,
the
only
social
interaction
that
they
have.
The
only
human
contact
trends
that
we're
seeing
at
meals
at
home.
Right
now,
of
course,
the
aging
population,
which
we've
all
heard
a
whole
lot
about,
but
more
people
need
our
services
now
than
ever
before.
The
growing
need
to
simply
access
food.
T
The
national
statistic
has
one
in
six
seniors
struggles
to
access
food
and,
if
you
think
about
the
absolute
thousands
in
our
delivery
area
alone,
there's
a
lot
to
be
done
more
people
than
ever,
who
need
diabetic
and
other
medically
prescribed
meals
in
part
because
of
the
aging
population,
but
just
for
a
variety
of
reasons.
That
can
be
a
challenge.
If
you
have
all
these
other
challenges
that
you're
dealing
with
as
well,
we
make
certain
that
we
never
have
a
waiting
list,
so
we're
working
really
hard.
T
Knowing
that
these
numbers
aren't
going
to
slow
down,
we
need
to
keep
up
with
them
and
we
don't
think
anyone
should
have
to
wait
to
eat.
I,
don't
know
about
you
guys,
but
I
have
to
eat
an
awful
lot
all
day
long.
So
these
are
our
challenges.
How
will
we
source
enough
quality
food,
not
just
opening
cans
of
stuff
and
keep
up
with
the
growing
demand
and
keep
it
at
a
price
that
allows
us
to
subsidize
so
many
of
our
clients?
T
T
This
is
something
that
we
hear
from
them
about
over
and
over
again
I,
don't
know
what
we
do
without
you
and
the
ripple
effect
that
it
has
on
other
parts
of
their
health,
whether
it's
mental
health
or
or
some
of
the
physical
concerns
that
they
do
have
just
the
ripple
effects
throughout
the
community.
So
any
questions
that
you
have.
T
Well
serving
more
clients,
first
of
all,
and
then
we've
had
some
challenges:
finding
food
providers,
so
the
amount
that
we've
spent
in
the
past
on
food
is
unfortunately
not
a
reality
as
we're
trying
to
add
on
food
providers.
So
while
we're
working
to
try
to
meet
that
need
we're
also
looking
ahead
in
the
next
few
years
to
see
what
we
can
set
up
in
advance
because
we
know
we
can't
continue
to
have
those
kinds
of
leaps
in
our
food
expense
and.
G
G
G
D
B
T
T
So
like
that
is
a
number
of
things.
Okay
now
I
know
what
this
says:
sorry
about
that
security
was
a
big
piece
of
that,
because
we
did
have
a
breakdown
or
a
break-in,
rather
where
we
had
some
equipment
taken.
So
we
now
have
a
security
system
and
and
lacked
record
I
mean
they
were
locked
before,
but
we
had
to
replace.
There
was
some
damage
done
and
then.
T
A
T
T
That's
a
little
bit
trickier.
We
know
that
there
are
20%
who
aren't
with
us
for
because
of
their
age,
so
we
can
break
it
out
and
we've
been
able
to
track
about
20%
between
the
the
60
plus
population
and
younger.
It
totals
about
20%
that
we
know
have
diagnosed
mental
health
issues
but
again
diagnosed
is
kind
of
the
key
word
with
them,
because
there's
a
whole
lot
of
other
stuff
going
on
that
they're
not
necessarily
being
treated
for,
and
sometimes
we
can
help
them
with
that
as
well.
I.

U
U
U
The
tap
program
is
a
new
program
for
which
we
are
applying,
and
that
is
the
therapeutic
art
program
and
it
consists
of
a
couple
of
areas
we
are
requesting
funding
to
want
to
partner
with
the
Moran
Center
and
they
have
noticed
a
need
for
the
Selah
group.
The
special
education
legal
advocacy
group,
the
parents
and
caregivers
of
that
group
have
asked
for
support.
U
They
are
overwhelmed
with
the
demands
of
making
ends
meet,
taking
care
of
their
children,
but
overwhelmed
with
the
process
of
advocating
for
their
special
needs
children,
so
they
costed
for
support,
and
we
would.
The
partnership
would
entail
open
studio,
providing
the
open
studio
process
services
to
them
in
a
pilot
for
eight
sessions
for
in
the
fall
of
2018
and
four
in
the
spring
of
2019,.
U
We
serve
at-risk
youth,
hundreds
of
them
adults
and
children.
Community
members.
We
have
a
storefront
gallery
and
we
train
professionals
worldwide.
In
our
studio.
We
have
worked
in
dozens
of
schools
in
Evanston
and
in
Skokie
and
as
well
as
social
services
agencies.
We
work
with
y-o-u
y-m-c-a
peer
services,
rice,
Children
and
Family
Center
and
the
Marine
Center,
and
now
we
are
working
with
special-needs
children's
in
the
schools,
and
this
is
with
and
through
the
encouragement
of
assistant,
superintendent,
special
services,
Joyce
bird's.
U
We
know
that
if
the
individuals
and
our
youth
can
feel
safe
to
express
themselves
through
verbal,
written
or
nonverbal
ways,
they
are
more
apt
to
progressive
development
that
which
is
not
expressed,
can
be
most
destructive
and
but
providing
a
safe
and
powerful
and
reliable
medium
via
the
OSP
process.
To
all
these
individuals,
regardless
of
their
background,
including
the
youth,
the
disadvantaged
and
our
special
needs.
Individuals
learn
how
to
express
their
emotions
in
a
healthy
manner
and
make
better
decisions.
U
We
also
have
an
upcoming
event
called
peacemakers.
It's
actually
scheduled
next
Friday
September
22nd
and
we
will
be
exhibiting
an
exhibit
that
was
formerly
at
the
Illinois
Holocaust
Museum.
We
all
need
peace
and
the
artists,
Ingrid
Hasson,
Patti
Vick
will
be
present
and
it
talks
about
ways
in
which
we
can
express
and
show
demonstrate
peace
in
our
community.
We
will
be
offering
workshops
and
field
trips
for
students
all
throughout
the
fall
and
talk
about
how
they
can
be
peacemakers
in
our
community.
J
Good
evening,
in
looking
at
the
budget
that
you
have
provided
and
having
watched
this
process
you're
over
a
year,
I
know
that
issues
with
reporting
first
of
all,
have
been
very,
very
difficult
for
the
open
studio
project
and
I'd
like
to
know
what
steps
you're
going
to
take
to
remedy
these
difficulties.
Because
when
these
funds
come,
the
reporting
requirements
are
never
going
to
get
easier.
They're
only
going
to
get
more
onerous
right.
U
J
U
There's
a
difference
and
I
saw
that
myself
between
the
request
last
year.
Evidently-
and
this
was
erroneous-
they
were
including
populations
that
we
were
working
with
at
community
festivals
and
events
which
we
are
not
doing
at
this
moment,
because
we
cannot
measure
their
outcomes
and
apparently
that
was
going
on
for
a
few
years
and
I've
been
advised
of
it.
The
practice
has
stopped
and
we
will
not
be
doing
that
again.
So
that's
why
the
budget
is
different
and
smaller.
A
U
A
T
V
My
name
is
Kay
Israelite
excuse
my
voice,
I'm,
the
director
of
development
for
Evanston
scholars.
We
are
located
at
one
two,
three
four
Sherman
Avenue
of
suite
two
one,
four
in
Evanston
you
can
read
more
about
us
at
our
website,
which
is
WWF
instance,
scholars,
org
and
we're
definitely
looking
for
volunteers,
especially
mentors
so
definitely
check
that
out.
If
you're
interested
so
just
a
little
bit
about
evidence
and
scholars,
we
are
a
college
access
and
Success
Program.
V
We
work
with
et
HS
students
studying
late
in
their
sophomore
year,
and
we
them
not
only
get
to
college
with
programming
in
their
high
school
years,
but
we
work
with
them
all
the
way
until
they
graduate
college
so
at
least
an
additional
four
years
and
we
stay
with
them
until
graduation
we
serve
students
who
will
be
the
first
in
their
families
to
graduate
college
so
first-generation
and
low-income,
which
we
define
as
qualify
for
free
and
reduced
lunch.
We
were
founded
in
2011,
our
executive
director,
Steve
Newman.
He
couldn't
be
here
tonight.
V
He
is
a
longtime
English
teacher
at
ETH
s
and
basically
founded
Evanston
scholars.
After
seeing
too
many
of
his
students
who
had
gone
off
to
college
come
back
the
next
year
and
say
it
didn't
work
out
and
there's
so
many
reasons
that
it
doesn't
work
out
and
that's
that's
what
Evans
and
scholars
is
addressing
in
Evanston
nationally
when
he
looked
at
the
research,
he
found
that,
unfortunately,
only
at
national
level
only
eleven
percent
of
students
of
first-generation
and
low-income
students
who
do
go
to
college
graduate.
V
So
it's
a
really
horrible
statistic
and
it
really
tells
you
that
it's
it's
definitely
not
enough
to
just
go
to
college.
There's
a
lot
there
in
the
college
part
we
do
work
closely
with
the
high
school
and
the
guidance
counselor's
there,
but
what
we
really
are
differentiated
by
is
our
work.
Helping
students
succeed
all
the
way
through
who
do
we
serve?
We
serve
students
who
do
want
to
go
to
college
and
earn
a
college
degree,
and
we
have
a
minimum
GPA
of
2.75.
V
Zero
eleven
way
to
ten
students,
so
we've
really
grown
and
thank
you
so
much
to
city
of
Evanston
and
cdbg
for
the
support
that
you've
given
us
over
the
years.
We
really
are
grateful
for
that.
We
currently
have
around
80
and
high
school
in
those
two
classes
and
then
the
rest
are
in
college.
So
it's
interesting
over
the
years.
How
really
the
shift
is
naturally,
then
going
to
college
in
our
programming.
We
are
really
proud
of
our
students
and
and
happy
to
report
that
our
College
persistence
rate
is
96%
and
that's
just
a
really.
V
So
that
means
that
any
Evanson
scholar
who
has
started
college
is
persisting
at
a
rate
of
96%
and
I
have
to
tell
you
it's
it's
not
an
easy
number.
There's
a
lot
of
stories
behind
that
statistic.
Just
one
example
is
we
had
a
student
who
is
not
a
college
graduate
come
back
and
talk
to
our
new
class
of
high
school
students
and
she
told
the
story
about
how
she
almost
dropped
out.
V
She
had
a
misunderstanding
and
a
payment
tuition
in
tuition
payment
and
she
didn't
have
the
money
to
pay
it,
and
she
was
scared
to
tell
her
parents.
They
were
gonna,
be
devastated.
She
was
as
a
first-generation
student.
She
said
that
she
felt
overwhelmed
and
even
embarrassed
to
go
to
the
financial
aid
office
at
her
college
and
tell
them
about
it.
Fortunately,
she
was,
she
had
a
really
close
relationship
with
her
mentor,
her
Evanson
scholars
mentor
and
she
did
mention
it
to
her
Evanston
scholars
manager
who
raised
the
flag
and
said
you
know.
V
This
is
not
right.
We're
gonna
help
you
with
this,
and
so
she
helped
her
make
an
appointment
with
the
financial
aid
office
and
she
was
able
to
work
it
out
and
she
attributed
and
she
was
able
to
work
it
out
and
graduate
from
college.
So
she
attributed
that
moment
to
her
evidence
and
scholars,
support
network,
and
that's
that's
really.
How
we're
getting
to
that
96%
is
through
a
really
tight
network
of
support.
V
A
lot
of
our
students
even
referred
to
it
as
their
evans
and
scholars
family,
and
what
makes
that
up
is
obviously
their
parents
number
one.
They're
involved
from
the
beginning,
their
mentor,
our
mentors,
we
have
a
one-on-one
mentor
relationship
for
every
single
student.
A
mentor
can
be
anyone
who
has
completed
a
college
degree,
so
we
have
a
really
wide
range.
We
have
very
recent
college
grads
and
we
have
retirees
so
that's
we
have
a
full
range
and
that
that
team,
along
with
that
and
since
now
our
staff
helps
support
the
student
in
high
school.
V
See
so
we
are
again
grateful
for
cdbg.
In
the
past
you
have
funded
our
a
CT
prep,
which
is
part
of
the
high
school
process,
and
that's
really
important
for
helping
their
students
get
scholarships
that
will
help
them
pay
for
college
and
help
them
get
a
good
college
match
this
year.
We
are,
we
are
increasing
our
ask
for
due
to
both
our
growth
in
the
program
in
terms
of
number
of
students
and
also
the
growth
and
the
program
itself
and
providing
additional
additional
services.
V
So
some
of
the
things
that
we're
expanding
is
our
College
advising
in
the
high
school
years
helping
students
when
needed
with
college
application
fees,
even
after
you
know,
waivers
are
submitted
and
so
on.
There's
still
fees
that
can
create
barriers,
sending
score
reports.
College
visits,
one
program
that
we're
hoping
to
expand
is
diversity.
Training
we've
worked
with
dr.
V
G,
Lowe
Logan
and
that's
been
really
successful
this
year
and
we
really
want
to
expand
upon
that
and
he's
worked
with
us
to
work
with
both
the
students
directly
and
he's
provided
some
training
with
them
to
help
develop
their
academic,
their
cultural
identity,
as
it
pertains
to
college
and
that's
been
really
helpful
and
well
received,
and
then
also
he
works
with
our
mentors
and
our
staff.
You
know
diversity,
training
and
cultural
awareness,
so
we
really
want
to
grow
that
program.
Then
the
final
thing
is
our
mental
health.
J
V
That's
a
great
question:
actually
I
meant
that
was
maybe
gonna
mention.
A
lot
of
our
students
do
tell
us
that
they
want
to
come
back
to
Evanston
I
mean
we're
still
pretty
new.
We
would
I
think
we
only
have
fourteen
college
grads
right
now
and
actually
one
of
them.
She
was
living
with
her
parents
and
she
actually
did
did
just
get
an
apartment
in
Chicago.
So
I'm
not
sure
about
that.
A
G
V
Would
say
I
mean
really.
Our
program
is
mainly
about
the
people.
You
know
it's.
It's
mainly
that
the
program
really
is
the
personnel,
so
I
guess
the
way.
This
is
the
way
this
is
broken
out.
The
personnel
is
just
is
all
of
our
staff,
and
then
those
programs
would
be
any
other
ancillary
cost,
like
you
know,
buses
for
college
visits
or
the
tutoring
company
that
we
hire
for
a
CT
programming.
So
when
we
talk
about
expanding
the
program,
you
would
see
an
increase
in
personnel
because
that's
well
so
that
would
be
just
you
know.
V
N
I'm
curious
about
the
mental
health
funding,
so
you're
requesting
twelve
thousand
five
hundred,
and
ten
thousand
of
that
is
for
this
consultant
to
come
in,
but
only
twenty
five
hundred
is
directly
related
to
mental
health,
referrals
and
training.
So
I'm
wondering
why
there's
like
greater
emphasis
on
the
former,
rather
than
the
latter,
when
you're
applying
for
mental
health
funds
to
cover
that.
V
Well,
the
mental
health
funds.
We
did
a
lot
of
work
in
the
previous
year
to
we
worked
with
some
contractors,
consultants
from
the
Family
Institute
to
set
up
some
of
our
basic
processes
and
referrals.
So
we
feel
like
that.
We
have
a
pretty
good
foundation
in
place,
so
we're
not
really
creating
that
from
scratch
this
year,
but
we've
basically
just
continuing
to
use
them
as
a
resource,
but
not
really
not
really
sort
of
building
up
something
new,
but
just
ongoing
or
helpful
referrals.
V
V
E
Good
evening
my
name
is
Susan
resko
and
I'm.
The
president
of
the
Joslin
center
mark
our
phone
numbers,
eight,
four,
seven,
four,
four
one:
five:
six:
zero,
zero
we're
located
at
405
Central
in
Northfield
and
our
website
is
Jocelyn
org
Joslin
Center
is
a
outpatient
community
mental
health
center.
We
were
founded
in
1951
just
to
give
you
a
very
brief
history
of
Community
Mental
Health.
E
It
was
in
1963
that
John
F
Kennedy
signed
the
Community
Mental
Health
Act,
which
brought
people
with
mental
illness
back
to
the
community
to
receive
care
within
the
community
and
supported
by
friends
and
loved
ones.
Joslin
Center
was
started
a
full
dozen
years
before
the
Community
Mental
Health
Act.
We
were
started
by
a
visionary
child,
psychiatrist,
Irene
Jocelyn,
and
ever
since
that
time,
child
psychiatry
has
been
very
important
to
us.
We
provide
60%
of
our
services,
are
counseling
or
therapeutic,
followed
by
psychiatry
case
management.
E
We
have
some
supportive
services,
such
as
a
living
room
and
drop-in.
We
have
a
therapeutic
day
camp
in
the
summer
called
Camp
Nica
for
children
ages,
eight
to
twelve,
and
recently
this
year
we
just
started
an
art
therapy
program
and
hired
for
art
therapists
and
renovated
a
room
to
create
an
art
therapy
room.
E
So
why
am
I
here
today
in
Evanston?
Basically,
it's
because
our
clients
live
in
Evanston,
5%
or
56%.
56
clients
live
in
Evanston
and
they're
coming
to
the
Joslin
Center,
because,
as
I'm
sure
you
know,
community
mental
health
services,
especially
for
low-income
people,
it's
just
very
scarce.
It's
not
very
hard
for
them
to
get
to
us
from
downtown
Evanston
one
would
take
the
purple
line
to
London
and
then
there's
a
bus
that
goes
straight
out
willow
and
there's.
E
E
E
Even
those
who
have
private
insurance
or
can
afford
to
pay
out
of
pocket
still
have
one
long
wait
list
and
at
the
Joslin
Center
were
able
to
get
people
in
within
a
day
or
two.
We
started
a
new
telepsychiatry
program
this
this
year
to
address
the
shortage
and
to
improve
access,
and
our
clients
are
absolutely
loving
it.
We
have
a
survey
that
we
give
them,
and
the
average
rating
is
a
four
point.
Eight
out
of
five,
so
they
come
out
of
the
telepsychiatry
room
with
big
smiles
on
their
face.
E
I
have
to
admit
the
first
time
they
go
in.
Some
of
them
are
a
little
nervous,
they've,
never
done
a
telehealth
Pro
seminar,
but
they
almost
to
a
person
come
out
saying
that
was
great.
That's
one
of
the
ways
that
we
are
committed
to
serving
other
psychiatric
needs.
Another
way
is
that
we
are
dramatically
increasing
the
therapeutic
services
that
we
provide.
One
of
the
questions
that
I
receive
today
is
what,
if
there
was
a
25%
increase
in
clients.
Well,
we
are
actually
predicting
a
40%
increase
in
our
client
base.
E
What
differentiates
Jocelyn,
in
addition
to
the
fact
that
we're
able
to
see
people
very
quickly
is
that
we
have
a
very,
very
strong
focus
on
quality.
We've
started
to
map
our
quality
against
national
standards
and
for
people
with
mental
illness.
The
average
hospitalization
rate
is
anywhere
from
ten
to
twelve
percent
across
the
country,
depending
on
the
type
of
hospitalization
at
Jocelyn.
E
So
I'm
here
tonight,
as
a
first
time
to
ask
you
to
partner
with
us
in
providing
community
mental
health
services
to
the
residents
of
Evanston
community
mental
health.
Is,
there
is
the
first
point
of
entry
and
often
prevents
somebody
from
requiring
more
acute
services,
such
as
day
hospitalization
or
the
ER
services
or
inpatient,
and
it
is
the
goal
of
the
Joslin
Center
to
be
there
before
the
point
of
crisis.
E
This
point:
no,
we
don't,
but
what
we
are
doing.
We
have
a
capital
campaign
going
on
and
a
portion
of
the
money
is
allocated
towards
innovative
programming.
So
we
have
a
ad
hoc
committee
that
is
analyzing
what,
where
our
services
are
most
needed.
We
do
anticipate
a
satellite
office
and
we're
just
looking
at
the
data
and
we'll
be
looking
that
out
over
that
for
the
next
year
or
two.
D
E
It's
about
a
third
of
what
we
do
so
the
telepsychiatry.
Let's
see
we
just
do
the
math
of
my
head.
It's
about
maybe
a
third
of
the
total
psychiatry.
So
we
do
have
a
psychiatrist
on
staff
about
28
hours
a
week
and
then
the
psychiatry
program
I
think
we
have
about
14
or
16
hours
of
a
tela
psychiatrist.
A
F
E
F
D
D
A
E
A
E
Right,
that's
right.
Some
psychiatrists
in
private
practice
will
also
do
therapy,
but
it's
it's
such
an
expensive
service
that
it,
for
you
know,
for
a
good
number
of
years.
Most
psychiatrists
are
just
focused
on
the
Medicaid
medicine,
but
we
believe
in
comprehensive
care.
We
believe
that
it's
important
for
somebody
else
to
be
connecting
with
that
person.
Besides,
that
brief
medication
visit
just.
W
W
W
W
W
How
do
we
fill
this
gap?
We
provide
out-of-school
time,
programming
and
summer
learning
programs
for
over
1,600
youth
at
11
school-based
sites.
Eight
of
those
are
in
Evanston
85
percent
of
the
youth
that
we
serve
come
from
limited
income,
households
and
all
our
of
our
services
are
provided
at
no
cost
our
integrated.
We
just
went
through
a
strategic
planning
process
last
year
and
as
part
of
that
process,
we
adopted
big
goal
and
that
goal
is
to
help
youth
achieve
post-secondary
and
life
success.
W
W
While
you
is
unique
in
its
approach
and
delivery
of
service
to
youth,
we
provide
a
holistic
model
of
care
and
settings
that
are
familiar
to
youth
and
their
families.
So
all
of
our
schools
are
school-based
programs.
Youth
are
not
transported
they're
in
they
attend
our
program
immediately
after
the
school
day
within
the
school.
W
Our
mental
health
supports
are
embedded
into
our
after-school
program
and
our
program
is
supported
by
licensed
clinicians
at
every
site.
Our
staff
and
clinicians
are
trained
in
how
to
develop
deep,
positive
relationships
with
youth,
and
the
support
is
dealing
with
trauma
and
social-emotional
hardship.
W
In
addition,
we
help
youth,
develop
their
social,
emotional
skills
and
resilience
through
individual
and
group
counseling
and
cycle
educational
groups
and
I'd
like
to
just
give
you
a
brief
set
of
snapshot
of
one
of
those
groups
that
was
very
successful
this
past
year,
it's
a
outdoor
education
group
called
Fox
which
stands
for
future
outdoor
explorers.
It's
led
by
clinician
and
one
of
our
after-school
program
managers
in
addition
to
teaching
youth
skills
around
camping.
W
It
also
worked
on
the
soft
skills
like
mindfulness
and
patience
and
working
at
as
in
teams,
and
it
culminated
with
a
dozen
youth
going
to
on
a
four-day
adventure
trip
to
Mammoth
caves
in
Kentucky.
As
I
said,
all
of
our
programs
are
offered
at
no
cost
and
that
program
is
offered
at
no
cost
to
our
youth.
The
YMCA
has
wonderful,
Pro,
similar
programs
that
cost
thousands
of
dollars,
so
we
were
able
to
offer
that
through.
W
W
It
also
allowed
us
to
spark
new
partnerships.
A
key
goal
when
we
moved
into
the
building
was
to
be
a
good
neighbor
and
to
partner
with
the
local
community.
We've
hosted
over
75
meetings
and
of
in
our
space
since
we
moved
in,
and
that
includes
accommodating
partners.
Neighborhood
groups
like
the
fifth
Ward
meeting
and
our
youth
and
families.
W
Our
scheme
for
team
application
is
looking
to
help
support
activities
in
our
makerspace
and
Chris.
Essex
is
recently
hired
as
our
maker
manager
we're
hoping
with
this
program
to
serve
a
hundred
youths
in
the
surrounding
community.
It
was
great
to
hear
at
Collette
talk
about
all
the
activities
that
family
focus
is
all
the
steam
related
and
programs.
These
this
space
is
really
geared
towards
teens,
and
so,
in
addition
to
working
with
teens
that
are
in
our
after-school
program,
we're
going
to
be
reaching
out
to
the
local
community.
W
Also
working
with
eth
us
will
be
offering
one
day
workshop
workshops,
multi-day
workshops,
we've
already
have
partnerships
with
some
local
providers
in
the
community.
We
have
a
culinary
program
and
we're
working
with
three
chefs
in
the
community
to
come
in
and
provide
classes
not
just
to
our
youth
but
to
community
residents
as
well.
So
this
is
a
new
initiative
for
us
Chris
started
a
month
ago,
not
quite
a
month
ago.
A
B
G
W
A
W
The
the
personnel
that
were
requesting
funding
for
are
the
personnel
that
work
specifically
with
our
clinical
program.
In
the
past,
we
just
presented
a
larger
budget
that
included
our
after-school
program.
So
that's
the
difference.
It's
a
much
of
our
focus
budget
and
a
much
more
focused
request
and
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
that
we
did.
That
is
because
we
wanted
to
do
a
better
job
on
reporting
outcomes
and
also
because
we
are
requesting
money
from
the
mental
health
board,
and
these
are
specifically
mental
health
services.
B
J
Benefit
there
is
in
allotting
in
particular,
CDBG
funding
for
a
while
use
programming
when
we
have
so
many
other
organizations
whose
programs
are
just
as
vital
and
not
nearly
as
attractive
to
potential
donors.
So
they
have
a
harder
time
raising
those
ones
I'd
like
to
give
you
the
opportunity
to
speak
to
and
that
benefit
should
come
in
sure.
W
I
mean
we
have
been
very
successful
in
our
fundraising.
As
many
of
you
know,
we
completed
3-year
capital
campaign
a
year
ago,
a
little
bit
more
than
a
year
ago,
and
we
were
very
successful
in
meeting
out
those
campaign
goals.
We
raised
money
to
four
really
three
pillars:
one
was
for
program,
one
was
for
financial
sustainability
and
we
were
able
to
establish
for
the
first
time
in
almost
50
year,
history
and
endowment.
W
So
we
now
have
a
two
million
dollar
endowment
in
next
year's
budget
it
for
the
first
time
it
will
actually
be
generating
some
income,
but
our
goal
is
to
really
build
that
budget.
And/Or
build
that
endowment
over
time
so
that
it
can
be
a
much
greater
income
producer
for
us
for
our
annual
budget
and
the
other
big
piece
of
that
campaign
was
our
building
and
our
building
was
5.7
million
dollars.
W
We
did
end
up
taking
out
a
small
mortgage
on
the
building,
but
we're
still
paying
off
the
cost
of
that
building
and
we
have
maintenance
costs.
So
our
budget
in
that
budget
has
actually
increased.
I
would
say
in
terms
of
why
the
city
should
fund
the
the
maker
lab
on
the
makerspace
through
CDBG
funding,
it's
very
similar
to
what
some
of
the
other
organizations
have
said.
W
Yes,
we
have
raised
private
funds
and
we
do
have
some
private
funds
that
are
supporting
that,
but
it's
not
covering
the
entire
budget
and
it's
not
covering
everything
that
we
want
to
do
in
that
space
and
we
are
serving
a
local
community,
that's
in
a
target
area
and
we're
and
we're
serving
a
target
population
for
the
funding.
So
it
helps
us
leverage
money
from
private
individuals
to
show
that
we
have
local
and
public
support
as
well.
H
W
So
they're
two
separate
applications,
so
the
the
steam
the
steam
is
for
teen
protein
is
for
teens
program
is
really
focused
on
providing
services
to
youth
that
live
in
the
fifth
Ward,
which
is
a
targeted
area.
Our
programs
are
at
eight
locations
throughout
the
community
and
actually
most
of
our
programs
are
located
in
areas
that
are
CDBG
targeted
areas.
Most
of
those
schools
are
in
those
areas,
but
we're
actually
talking
about
serving
youth
from
that
surrounding
community.
W
H
W
Our
our
program
is
a
school-based
program
and
primary
funding
for
that
program
comes
from
a
program
called
the
21st
century
program.
Those
funds
only
go
to
schools
that
are
title
on
schools,
and
so
the
bulk
of
those
services
are
funded
through
that
government
programs.
So
we
we
don't
have
funding
to
each
site
costs
us
around
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
run
or
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
plus
and
we're
getting
a
hundred
twenty-five
thousand
dollars
from
the
federal
government.
So
we're
raising
all
of
that.
X
I'm
melody
Rose
I'm,
the
director
of
our
clinical
and
outreach
services
with
y-o-u
and
I,
wanted
to
offer
a
point
of
clarification
that
all
services
that
we
offer
are
trauma-informed.
Our
staff
are
steeped
and
trauma-informed
training.
We
just
underwent
a
three-hour
training
earlier
this
week
and
so
every
interaction
that
we
have
with
any
youth
in
our
community,
as
well
as
any
opportunity
that
we
have
to
interact
with
our
parents
and
other
community
members.
The
trauma
informed
system
applies
in
all
of
those
lenses.
H
Y
X
Specific
to
those
youth,
as
well
as
the
program
that
is
in
the
makerspace,
so
in
both
applications,
those
will
be
trauma-informed
services
that
are
provided
so
there's
not
an
exclusive
area
and
the
title
one
schools.
Those
services
are
all
trauma-informed,
as
well
as
the
services
offered
out
of
our
building
as
well.
X
So
what
that
means
is
that
there
is
counselor
support
at
all
of
those
areas
and
we
serve
as
consultants
with
that
and
we
also
serve
as
people
who
provide
individual
family
and
group
therapy
so
that
that
part
continues
both
through
our
through
our
counseling
program
at
our
sites,
as
well
as
the
support
that
we
offer
through
our
outreach
program
that
offers
a
drop-in
space
at
our
main
office,
as
well
as
the
new
endeavors
we'll
be
having
with
in
the
fifth
Ward
to
serve
additional
students.

L
After
relocating
last
year,
it
has
been
a
year
of
growth
and
change
for
the
low
site
center.
In
August
we
expanded
our
program
for
the
seniors,
who
are
at
the
short,
chronic
training
center.
These
individuals
have
made
the
choice
to
retire
from
employment,
but
still
wish
to
participate
in
leisure
activities.
The
lowest
Lloyd
Center
offers
them
full
access
to
the
building
and
opportunities
to
select
activities
which
they
wish
to
attend
in
the
multi-purpose
room.

Visiting
our
sensory
room
for
some
R&R
and
selecting
community
integration,
experiences
which
best
suit
their
desires,
staff
and
family
support
allows
all
individuals
at
the
Lowell

to
identify

particular
interests,
preferences,
strengths,
skills
and
supports
needed
to
ensure
that
their

is

a

is

Sorry
excuse

is
the
introduction
of
the

This
is
a

program
which
will
be
expanded
over
the
next
few
years
to
include
all
individuals
at
the
adult
services
and
seniors
program.

This
program
empowers
individuals
to
make
informed
decisions
about
how
they
spend
their
day
in
the
community
volunteering
job
shadowing
and
participating
in
other
activities
which
promote
the
achievement
of
greater
independence
and
a
higher
quality
of
life.
Some
activities
include
attending

pantry
petting
dogs
and
cats,
waiting
for

visiting
local

museums
parks,
bowling
and

Just
to
name
a
few.
The
state
of
Illinois
is
moving
towards
person-centered

is
being
proactive
and
changing
its
focus
to
be
more
person-centered.
L
We
are
currently
providing

to
nearly
90
individuals

are
non-ambulatory
and
eighty
percent
needs
some
type
of

with
activities
of

O
With
Shore
coding
training
center,
it's
a
division
of
a
short
Community
Services.
My
name
is
Lisa
right,
Shores,
seeking
support
for
our
vocational
training
program.
In
order
to
provide
community
experiences
to
more
individuals.
We
served
at
168
individuals,
35
of
which
reside
in
Evanston.
Last
year,
49
of
the
168
people
receive
services
in
the
community
in
the
form
of
volunteering,
job,
shadowing
informational
interviews
and
short-term
community
work
experiences.
O
We
also
assisted
individuals
and
seeking
and
maintaining
employment
by
helping
with
resume
development,
job
applications,
interviewing
skills
and
providing
support.
After
hire
as
part
of
this
program,
we
are
collaborating
with
Kurt's

in
Evanston
our
trainees

a
Kurtz

worker
in
order
learn
firsthand
what
working
in
a

is
like
and
then
they
participate
in
a
mock

O
We
have
developed
other
job

and

as
well,
such
as
the
Red

animal
shelter
and
skokie

School
for
job
shadowing
funding
is
being
sought
from
CDBG
for
the
positions
of
community
program
manager
and
job
coach.
Our
goal
is
to
provide
community
experiences
to
more
individuals.
These
opportunities
are
provided
with
a
closed
staff
to
client
ratio
and
we
would
be
grateful
for
additional
financial
support,
so
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
A
J
Sorry
very
quickly,
in
building
this
program,
have
you
liaised
with
other
organizations
in
the
area
doing
similar
things?
I
know
that
your
population
is
specific
but,
for
example,
I
think
of
what
is
no
longer
called
the
I
work
program
from
oh,
my
gosh
they're
there
they're
there
their
name
just
ran
out
of
my
head,
but
you
know
I
work.
J
A
C
I'm
Kirsten
Luna,
the
director
of
residential
services,
sure
residential
services
provides
quality
services
to
in
our
residential
capacity
through
our
home-based
services
through
our
in-home
rest
respite
to
adults
and
children
with
developmental
disabilities.
Within
the
past
fiscal
year,
we
serve
97
individuals
in
our
respite
program.
35
of
these
were
Evanston
residents.
The
Evanston
residents
participated
in
our
Shore
Buehler
house,
our
supported
living
arrangement,
our
home
based
support
program
and
our
respite
program,
and
it's
for
these
programs
that
we
are
seeking
additional
funding.
C
Our
supported
living
arrangement
consists
of
our
patricia
a
townhomes
in
Evanston,
which
is
a
town
home
complex
with
five
units
currently
serving
8
residents.
In
the
past,
our
program
manager
had
lived
in
the
center
unit,
but
now
lives
off-site
giving
the
opportunity
for
two
more
residents
to
move
in
there.
Our
program
manager
provides
individualized
programming
according
to
the
needs
of
each
of
the
8
residents
at
the
townhomes,
but
also
to
eight
additional
people
living
in
community
housing
in
the
community
that
just
need
those
extra
supports
to
be
successful.
C
Most
of
our
residents
at
the
townhomes
could
not
afford
market
range
housing
and
are
only
able
to
live
there
comfortably
because
of
our
graduated
rent
scale
should
sure
SLA
have
to
close.
Most
of
our
residents
would
either
have
to
move
back
with
their
families,
move
into
a
more
restrictive
setting
or
possibly
be
homeless.
So,
for
this
reason,
we're
seeking
additional
services
to
keep
our
programming
going
and
so
that
we
can
continue
to
hire
really
quality
staff.
C
Our
Shore
homes,
East
Buehler
house
in
Evanston,
serves
12
Evanston
residents
and
requires
24-hour
care
7
days
a
week
for
all
of
those
residents
and
as
normalized
and
environment
as
possible.
We
make
great
efforts
to
integrate
them
into
the
community.
They
love
leisure
and
recreation
activities
such
as
going
to
that
Winston
library
going
to
the
beach
going
to
the
movies
participating
in
New,
York
coeds.
Why
events
Center
for
enriched
living?
C
Lastly,
Shore
homes
home
base
support
program
in
our
respite
program
is
something
that
people
in
the
community
are
continuing
to
really
value.
This
program
helps
caregivers
in
the
community
that
have
a
developmental
disability
family
member
who
needs
extra
supports
to
enrich
their
lives
and
also
allows
the
caregiver
to
take
a
break
so
as
to
avoid
having
to
put
their
family
member
into
a
residential
setting.
It
also
helps
with
people
that
have
been
able
to
move
into
the
community,
but
to
be
successful,
need
some
degree
of
support
services.
So
that's
it's
still
a
very
necessary
service.
C
So,
during
the
past
year,
in
our
home
base
support
program,
we
grew
to
40
people
and
17
of
those
are
Evanston
residents
and
54%
of
our
respite
program
are
Evanston
participants.
So
we're
seeking
additional
funding
to
keep
that
program
going
and
to
pay
our
staff
I,
don't
know
if
you'd
like
to
answer
questions
now.
I
have
also
brought
along
Jerry
bird,
who
has
been
in
a
Vanstone
Ian
and
a
Nestle
8
community
members,
since
1979
he's
worked
very
hard
and
gained
many
independent
living
skills
were
very
proud
of
him.
C
C
AA
AA
K
C
The
home
based
program,
it's
a
waiver
program
and
the
people
that
receive
that
funding
have
an
award
letter
through
DHS,
and
so
as
an
adult.
You
get
2022
dollars
a
month
that
can
be
used
towards
support
services,
so
they
don't
actually
receive
the
money.
The
money's
set
aside
for
us
to
build
to
give
them
support
services
is.
C
A
C
A
C
B
C
C
G
C
Mean
there's
a
different
numbers,
you
know
what
it
is.
Is
we
used
to
include
more
of
our
programming
numbers
that
are
like
four
spoky
and
all
that,
and
so
now
we
were
sticking
more
specifically
to
the
ones
that
are
serving
Evanston
residents,
since
this
is
that
instant
mental
health
word,
so
that
would
make
sense.
A
B
M
Name
is
Jordan
lore
I'm,
the
executive
director
at
the
North
Shore
Senior
Center,
we're
located
at
161
Northfield
Road
in
Northfield.
We
also
have
offices
which
actually
serve
Evanston
residents
at
7,900,
North
Milwaukee
in
Niles.
We
also,
as
you
probably
noticed
if,
when
you
came
down
here,
we
have
space
here
in
the
Civic
Center
we'll
talk
about
that.
M
I
have
with
me
Kathy
Honeywell,
who
is
our
director
of
senior
and
Family
Services
and
Liz
Gordon,
who
is
our
director
of
our
care
options
program
so
we'll
walk
through
these
three
programs
separately,
so
that
if
you
have
questions,
we
can
kind
of
keep
those
separate.
The
first
program
is
to
support
our
senior
and
Family
Services
work
here
in
an
Evanston,
and
it
really
is
focused
on
supporting
the
cost
directly
associated
with
our
work
here
in
Evanston
two
years
ago,
we
had
all
of
our
satellite
office
located
here
in
Evanston,
for
space
reasons,
etc.
M
We
move
that
to
Niles.
Those
folks
continue
to
provide
the
same
services
as
they
always
have
to
individuals
in
their
homes
here
in
Evanston,
but
what
we
also
did
at
that
time
was
we
dedicated
specific
staff
for
the
city
of
Evanston,
so
we
have
somebody
who's
here
at
this
office.
We
also
have
part
time
or
portion
of
a
person's
time
for
older
adult
benefits,
and
we
have
a
good
number
of
volunteers
who
work
right
out
of
the
office
office
here
in
Evanston.
This
particular
program
I
will
tell
you.
M
We've
certainly
been
fortunate
enough
to
receive
funding
from
the
Mental
Health
Board
for
a
number
of
years.
We
appreciate
that
this
program
we
consider
to
be
really
the
heart
and
soul
of
the
North
Shore
Senior
Center.
So
this
serves
low
income.
Poverty
level
seniors
helps
them
remain
in
their
homes.
If
you
are
an
older
adult
on
Medicaid
or
dual
eligible
in
need
of
services,
you
would
be
served
by
us.
So
we
are
the
only
agency
that
does
the
community
care
program
designated
by
the
state
of
Illinois
here
for
Evanston.

It's

it's
a

So
the
grandparents
raising
grandchildren
group
started
in
the
1990s
and
it's
grown
into
a
comprehensive
program
to
assist
these
special
families.
We
have
right
now
we're
currently
working
with
28
families,
27
grandmothers,
one
grandfather
and
84
grandchildren
and
the
children
range
from
birth
to
age
18
when
they
turn
18.
They
graduate
from
the
program
22
of
the
grandmothers
live
in
Evanston.
Z
Many
of
our
grandparents
in
the
program
have
very
limited
finances.
53-52,
0.38%,
I
have
very
low
income.

are
within

23.8

or
in
the
moderate
range
and
90.5
2
are
not
in
the
lower

range.
This
program
features
full
case

services,
which
include
ongoing
counseling
to
provide

Emotional

and
support
in
identifying
financial

Z
She
thought
it
was
going
to
be
a
temporary
situation
and
she,
but
she
knew
she
needed,
help
to
get
through
it,
and
so
somebody
from
the
school
told
her
about
the
grandparents
raising
grandchildren
program
and
it's
been
very
helpful
to
her
to
meet
with
grandparents
who
are
in
a
similar
situation
and
who
understand
what
they're
going
through.
Like
many
other
grandparents,
she
began
caring
for
her
grandchildren
with
little
or
no
time
to
prepare.
Z
They
were
kind
of
squeezed
into
three
bedrooms
very
quickly
and
after
she
started
going
to
the
grandparents
group,
she
was
connected
with
a
care
coordinator.
Who
then
came
to
the
house
interviewed
her,
talked
about
the
whole
situation
and
realized
that
immediately
one
of
the
things
they
needed
were
mattresses,
so
everybody
had
a
bed
to
sleep
on,
and
so
we
were
able
to
use
some
some
gap-filling
funds
and
some
angel
funds
to
get
mattresses
and
she
had
enough
bedding
to
cover
all
the
mattresses.
Z
This
grandma
continues
to
attend
the
program
every
month.
It
meets
the
third
Monday
of
every
month
at
the
levy
center,
where
there
are,
they
alternate
support,
group
and
educational
group
meetings.
While
the
grandparents
are
meeting,
the
children
also
have
activities
that
are
planned
by
child
care,
specialists,
there's
dinner
and
and
then
the
these
different
programs
that
are
available
to
them.
Z
We
also
offer
an
annual
resource,
fair,
there's,
a
summer
event
and
a
holiday
party
for
the
grand
families,
there's
case
management
gift
cards
for
school
supplies,
respite
care,
counseling
and
taxi
care,
taxi
cab
vouchers
for
the
monthly
meetings.
So
we
appreciate
the
support
that
we've
received
from
CDBG
funding
and
we
do
have
any
questions.
Z

We
have
a
nurse
on
staff
with
that
group.
We
will
be
actually
starting
to
look
at
taking
on
guardianship
in
that
group,
and
then
we
have
our
psychotherapy
services,
which
is
where
the
pearls
program
falls
under.
We
really
see
this
as
a
natural
extension.

K
Effective

in-home

for

continues
to
be
an
unmet
need
for
services
to
seniors,
including
those
in
our
area.
Up
to
up
to
15%
of
older

have
clinically
significant

functioning

and

of

care
options
of
the
North
Shore
Senior
Center
is
requesting
support
for
the
growth
and
development
of
pearls.
Pearls
is
program
that
encourages
active
and
rewarding
lives.
K
Pearl's
is
an
evidence-based
counts
program
that
has
been
found
to
be
effectively
reduced,
symptoms
of
depression
and
older
adults.
The
research
was
funded
by
the
Centers
for
Disease
Control
and
Prevention,
and
conducted
at
the
University
of
Washington
in
Seattle,
in
collaboration
with
Seattle's
Area
Agency
on
Aging,
the
client
population
and
the
Seattle
program
is
similar
to
our
community
care
program,
Medicaid
Waiver
clients.
We
expect
most
of
the
referrals
for
Perls
counseling
to
come
from
our
senior
and
Family
Services
case
managers
who
are
working
with
low-income
Evanston
seniors.
K
Each
referred
older
adult
is
screened
for
depression
by
phone
using
the
patient,
Health
Questionnaire
nine,
which
is
commonly
called
phq-9.
The
program
is
explained
to
the
senior
and
the
initial
in-home
meeting
is
scheduled,
licensed
clinical
social
workers
trained
to
provide
pearls
meet
with
clients
in
their
homes
for
nine
sessions
over
nineteen
week
period.
One
of
the
really
nice
things
about
this
program
is
it
you
get
in.
K
You
do
the
evidence-based
work
and
in
19
weeks
you
have
really
resolved
a
lot
of
their
depressive
symptoms,
and
then
you
are
out
you
do
follow-up
depressive
symptoms
are
monitored
throughout
the
program
now
at
at
session
3.
If
the
client
is
not
scoring
less
depressed
on
the
scale,
then
there
is
a
psychiatrist.
We
consult
to
look
at
possible.
Medication
needs
and
we
have
a
geriatric
psychiatrist
on
board
with
us
for
this
program.
K
Terry
Anissa
of
Glenview
and
he's
very
well-versed
in
this.
We
talked
with
him
twice
a
month
in
review
cases,
and
then
he
helps
us
understand
how
to
help
these
clients
from
a
medical
and
drug
medication.
Standpoint
Pearl's
uses
problem-solving
techniques
that
help
the
older
adult,
identify
unsolved
problems
and
develop
ways
to
address
them
through
increased
participation
in
social,
physical
and
other
pleasant
activities
that
result
in
decreased
depressive
symptoms.
K
Northshore
seniors
center
care
options
program
is
the
only
one
in
the
area
providing
pearls
as
the
client
numbers
grow.
Additional
pearls
counselors
will
be
trained
so
that
the
needs
for
seniors
and
depression
with
depression
can
be
met.
Outcomes
include
measuring
that
the
depressive
symptoms
in
fact
do
decrease.
We
will
be
comparing
our
data
to
the
findings
of
the
University
of
Washington
research.
K
K
Actually,
we
rolled
the
program
out
in
July
that
was
our
rollout
date
and
it's
up
and
running,
and
so
we
think
it
may
even
outdo
what
we're
proposing
in
the
proposal.
But
we
have
the
psychiatrist
on
board.
We
have
a
clinical
psychologist
on
board
who's,
helping
with
the
more
clinical
issues
rather
than
the
medical
issues,
and
we
have
one
fully
trained
Perls
counselor,
who
will
be
training
other
folks
as
we
need
them
most
likely
recruiting
them
out
of
the
staff
of
the
senior
family
services
with
their
LCS
w's.
K
K
Very
the
depression
will
most
definitely
get
seniors
who
score
high
on
depression
because
they
are
experienced
bereavement,
and
so
the
answer
would
be
yes,
that
that
could
be
one
of
the
ways
we're
really
working
with
seniors,
who
are
experienced
losses
across
time
either
of
their
own
health
people.
They
love
their
pets
whatever,
and
so
the
kind
of
depression
they
have
is
just
where
they're
becoming
less
and
less
active,
less
and
less
able
to
tune
in
to
life
as
they
knew
it,
and
so
it
certainly
couldn't
create,
include
a
grief
and
bereavement.
K
K
Are
going
to
be
getting
these
referrals
through
our
very
wonderful
case?
Managers
haven't
seen
your
family
services
that
visit
the
clients
they're
going
to
identify
clients
that
they
feel
would
meet
the
depression
criteria
for
inclusion
in
the
program
they're
going
to
refer
those
folks
over
to
us,
and
then
we
are
going
to
do
the
official
inclusion,
screening
and
so
forth
to
determine
if,
in
fact,
they
do
have
depression
to
the
level
that
this
program
might
be
of
assistance
to
them.
Those.
K
A
K
We're
not
we're
actually
widely
marketing
this
program
so
that
we
don't
miss
any
seniors.
So,
although
we
think
the
major
number
will
come
out
of
our
senior
and
family
services,
many
in
fact
the
first
two
I
think
didn't
come
out
of
senior
Family
Services.
One
was
referred
by
psychiatrists
that
read
a
piece
in
one
of
our
publications,
so
we
really
are
casting
the
broader
net,
but
we
do
look
at
Senior,
Family,
Services
client
base
I
think
across
Senior
Family
Services.
At
this
time
say
we
have
about
6,000.
We
have
a
6,000
open
clients.
K
Well,
you
can
bet
there's
a
lot
of
depression
out
there.
A
lot
of
this
is
isolation.
It's
not
the
way
we
usually
think
about
clinical
depression
and
the
imbalances
and
so
forth.
These
are
just
folks
that
become
isolated,
become
sad,
will
score
high
on
that
depression
scale
we
get
in
there
work
with
them,
get
them
more
engaged
in
their
life,
helping
them
identify
some
problems
that
are
bothering
them,
helping
them
understand
how
to
solve
those
problems
and-
and
it
works
other
incidents.
B
K
At
them-
and
we
love
that
so
the
and
no
one
can
say
that
there
aren't
really
good
reasons
why
our
seniors
are
sad
and
have
depression
under
almost
all
conditions.
We
would
be
able
to
work
with
clients
to
help
them
engage
more
than
they're
engaged
at
the
time
and
get
back
into
more
of
a
lifestyle.
They
can
give
them
some
joy.
A
K
Let
them
know
about
this:
we
are
scheduled
to
put
the
Fosters
senior
Club
in
Terry.
Mchugh
is
on
the
schedule
to
speak
with
them,
we're
getting
before
the
the
faith
community
and
all
the
other
places
where
we
know
people
will
know
about
seniors
who
are
isolated
in
their
home
from
stroke
and
other
things.
So
I
want
to
really
emphasize
the
evidence-based
piece
of
this,
because
you
hear
that
thrown
around
a
lot.
K
A
A
Very
much
all
right.
Would
anybody
in
the
audience
like
to
speak?
We
have
anybody,
comments,
our
staff.
We
think
everybody
really
thank
you
so
much
for
coming
in
for
making
these
wonderful
presentations
and
for
all
your
excellent
work.
I,
don't
know
what
we
would
do
that
which
makes
our
job
that
much
more
difficult.
L
B
Y
You
I
just
like
to
announce
that
the
next
top
meeting
of
the
housing
communities
island
act
committee
is
Tuesday
September
19th
at
7
p.m.
and
that
will
be
to
hear
requests
for
2018
CDBG
funding.
Only
and
the
next
mental
health
board
meeting
is
scheduled
for
Saturday
September
23rd.
That's
Saturday
at
9
a.m.
to
hear
the
additional
request
for
mental
health
board
funds.
Only.
Thank
you.
A
Also
for
the
CD
committee
Sarah
and
Jessica,
we
had
a
conversation
offline
about
the
city
services,
city
programs
that
are
going
to
be
presented.
You're
going
to
get
the
presentations
on
paper
online.
Does
anybody
I
know
you
probably
haven't
seen
them
yet,
but
do
you
want
any
kind
of
a
presentation
from
our
staff?
For
example,
there's
going
to
be
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars,
I
think
600
of
I
don't
know
for
Ali's.
Do
you
want
staff
remember
to
come
and
present
those?
It's
also
going
to
be
the
night
for
public
service.
J
This
is
not
to
the
capital
projects,
but
this
is
regarding
the
certificate
of
rehab
program
for
years.
I
have
been
asking
if
they
would
bring
in
and
show
us
some
really
concrete
results
of
how
this
program
is
bringing
a
return
for
the
community
with
hands-on
examples.
You
know
case
studies
whatever
they
can.
They
can
provide
I,
really
love
for
them
to
come
and
make
a
presentation,
because
they
are
one
of
the
largest
recipients
of
these
funds
and
I
think
people
should
know
what
that
program
is
doing
for
the
community
about
one.
